The title of "Anti-Gangster" was revealed to be plagiarized. Is the showrunner's response convincing?

The opening of "Sweeping Crime Storm" involved plagiarism on VJshi, a material trading service platform. The show's crew issued an apology statement, stating that after verification, the contributor Gao Moumou provided non-original works and his account has been banned. and terminate cooperation. Is this response from the film crew appropriate?

The crew spent money to buy it on the platform, and the platform was also authorized by others.

The plot is like this. There is a friend of Gao who claims to be the original creator, and then uploads this material in her own name, and then the crew happens to buy this non-original material on this platform. Then it was used in the title sequence, and was discovered by the original creator.

Many producers often outsource part of their work to third parties for efficiency or comprehensive considerations. It is also common to buy materials from websites.

The defense's response is not inappropriate. He is indeed an unknowing third party, and the film studio also purchased the original copyright. The crew of "Anti-Gangster" was unjustly accused, but they made mistakes

The production company chose the VJ artist's material in order to save costs. This was the first mistake.

Secondly, the VJ artist’s review of contributors is not perfect, and some people actually claim to be the creators of the material and can also collect profits.

This does not guarantee the original creator at all? Who in the future can rest assured to buy materials from material websites? What should someone who has been plagiarized do?

The crew bought the material from a material website, but the person who uploaded the material, Mr. Gao, was not actually the original author.

If the crew did spend money, it should be said that there was no subjective malice on the part of the crew, but objectively it did cause losses and gains to the original creator. The original creator has the right to claim infringement liability against the crew, and the crew You can then seek recourse from the material website. Is the film studio’s response convincing? How much responsibility does it take?

Strictly speaking, is this plagiarism? It's just that "The Storm" may not have to bear responsibility or bear less responsibility.

The original author sued "Anti-Gangster" to protect his own rights and interests, and he did not make any mistakes. If the original creator can sue the website seller directly because of the response from the producers of "Storm", how should the final compensation be paid? This is critical.

The drama company directly used the material, which is within the scope of infringement, and it is not an active infringement. It only needs to bear no or less responsibility.

The show’s response is a bit like passing the blame, but if you think about it carefully, the show’s owner did not intentionally infringe, nor did he actively infringe.

At the legal level, there is no such thing as "the person who does not know is not guilty". In addition to material providers, drama producers, broadcast platforms, etc. all have the obligation and responsibility to review the materials they use. Infringement compensation is generally The penalty will be proportional to the losses caused to the original author or the money earned by using the original author's things. "Sweeping the Dark" is very popular and the profits are huge.

The film producer needs to provide evidence himself, saying that the purchase is a bona fide third party. It is not a bona fide third party that has the obligation to review. If you fail to review properly, you will also be held jointly and severally liable for infringement.
